Health Tip: Urgent vs. Emergency


Urgent and Emergency have very specific meanings for the medical community. Urgent means "Come or Call NOW but still breathing and no loss of limb/life". Emergency means there is a threat to life and/or limb. If you call or text us using these terms we are going to ask "What's the Urgency/Emergency" If you fail to immediately answer or beat around the bush then we will consider your circumstance less than urgent or emergent. Please don't abuse the terms. Have A Healthy Day!!!!
